SIURCE'S DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING: SOURCE stated that on 6 May 1956 at ap
proximately 2205 CST while checking the sky for weather conditions he noted
a bright object in the western sky celow the clouds. SOURCE's attention
was attracted to the object because of its exceptional brightness. SOURCZ
stated he viewed the object for approximately 50 minutes using 6X30 power
binoculars, SOURCE reported the object was sharply outlined, shaped like
bowl, and rimmed with lichts. Lights appeared to be individual but were
too numerous to count. (Incl #1, Sketch of object). For the first 30 min-
utes of the sighting object appeared to hover in a small portion of sky and
apveared to move in a somewhat erratic manner similar to an aircraft in
rough air. After about 30 minutes obdject appeared to be moving in a westerly
direction and slowly passed out of sight over the western horizon. SOURCE
indicated he saw a few stars but no moonlight was apparent. Object appeared
brighter than the background of the sky and was comparable to the brizhtness
of an automobile headlisht a city block away. Object did not treak into
parts, give off smoke or change shape. However, it did chansse brizhtness
from time to time and seemed to pulsate or throb. SOURCE stated he noted oe Xae
an aircraft above and in front of the object in a northwesterly direction SS
from point of observation. SOURCE could not identify or describe the type Z
of aircraft other than that it was not a jet. Obdject did not nove in front
of anything at any time during the sighting. SOUNCS said he thought the Es
object was solid. There was no audible sound during the sighting. SOURCE ae
indicated he saw only one object and estimated that the real size of the Boe 8
ooject at its longest dimension was aporoximately 100 feet. SCURC= was
certain object appeared to be the size of a nickel held at arms length when
viewed through binoculars, SIURCE said that if the object were to be con-
Structed of known materials it would probably be of a silvery metallic sub- |
stance shaved like a bowl. SOURCE resorted that he was lookinz northwest ‘
when he first saw the object and also was looking northwest when the object ' :
isappeared, S2URCE indicated that when object was first noticed it was an See
proximately 300 degrees from true north and approximately 30 degrees above Bae
the horizon. ‘When object disappeared it was approximately 300 degrees from
true north: and 0 degrees above horizon. SOURCE reported thick clouds, dry
weather, warm temperature and no wind during period of sighting. He stated

unadle to estimate speed of object but thought it was approximately 15 miles er

=NTS of Preparing Officer:

1, In the opinion of the preparing officer the sighting was probably an an
optical ohenomena for the following reasons: ens

@. <Anv celestial body that could have been mistaken for an unidenti-~
ed ontect was not visible in that portion of the sky where the sizhting occured,
a

r9

Gition, the characteristic movement of a celestial bod: does not conform
movement of the object described by SOURCES, and its pattern of travel
mB the sky to its point of ultimate disappearance. The area travelled by
% in the period of time specified by SOURCES would not be characteristic
a celestial body. Any celestial body with the exception of planets and the
moon will move approximately 15° per hour. According to description furnished
by SCURCES, object travelled 3 larzer area than 15° in the 55 minutes it was

rai. "Followine figures are siven for reference purposes:

De Weather talloons were not present in the area during the sizhting
: sehen in addition, no celestial body or other source of lizht was apparent
ay might possibly create a reflection of lizht on a balloon with the resultant

ef ffects noted by SOURCES. The apparent size of object would further preclude
the possibility of a balloon.

o- = e-2-e

: Cc. Research of possible aircraft in the area of sighting resulted in
negative findings, with the exception.of the single track reported by the 746th
BB AC 2 ‘i Squadron, Tinker AFB. The movement, moreover, of the object as described
. | oy “pti a does not fit the normal pattern of aircraft movement in flight. .
SOURCS, however, reported seine an aircraft in flight at the Same time he saw

, the unidentified object.

d. The characteristics of the object as ha ass aa by SOURCES precludes
the possibility. that this s SteHeene, was a meteor.

&. Characteristics of tie object as reported by three SOURCES zener.
ally confirms the optical phenomena hypothesis. The possibility exists that
meteorological conditions prevailing during te sighting, such as two temperature
inversions, may have ceen contributing factors to the occurence of this sizhtine.

RELIASILITY:. SOURCE appeared to be highly intelligent and completely sin-

SOURCE'S DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING: SOURCE stated that on 6 May 1956 between
the hours of 2210 and 2305 CST he observed a teacup shaped, translucent,
-intensely bright, orange-colored object in the northwest sector of the sky,
(Incl #1, Sketch of Object). SOURCE indicated the object appeared to be
rimmed by individual lights too mumerous to count. Object was déscribed
as stationary in the sky for a few minutes, then darting rapidly in a north-
»; erly direction. This type of movement was repeated forming a zig-zag pat-
--|-tern. Progress of the object appeared to be westerly, except for alternate
; > darts toward: the north. Object finally disappeared on the western horizon.
| (Inel #2, Pattern of Obseot}. Object did not emit exhaust trails and no
. audible sound was noticed. SOURCE stated the object was brighter than any
‘ other object in that portion of the sky where the Sighting was noted. .
SOURCE said he noticed a few stars in the sky but no moonlight. Brightness
‘of the object was comparable to that of automobile headlight approximately
two city blocks away. Object did not break into parts, chance shape, give
RS off smoke or change brightness. However, SOURCE reported that the object
4. \ appeared to throb or pulsate. During period of sighting object did not move
1 in front of anything or behind anything. SOURCE viewed object with 6x30
binoculars and indicated the object was sharply outlined. SOURCE could not
guess or estimate the real size of object in its longest dimensions, but |
Stated it was approximately the size of a dime held at arms length, SOURCE
reported that if the object could be constructed of known materials it would

off smoke or vapor trails. Its brightness did not change while standinz
still, but did diminish as object disappeared from view at a fairly steady

‘rate of speed. Obdject did not move in front of or behind anything. It

appeared to be solid when viewed by SOURCE through 9X35 power binoculars,

orange as it disappeared over horizon. SOURCE described object as resemb-
ling a round saucer suspended in the air. (Incl #1). Object travelled
from 340 to 350 degrees laterally and from 20 to 0 degrees vertically

RELIASILITY: SOURCE. appeared to be of average intelligence. Answers to
questions were ziven in a forthright manner with no attempts to procrasti--
nate. SOURCE was very cooperative throughout the investigation and appeared
Sincerely anxious to help find a solution for the sighting.

SOURCE'S DESCRIPTION OF SIGHTING: SOURCE stated that on 6 May 1956 at ap-
proximately 2205 CST while checking the sky for weather conditions he noted
a bright object in the western sky below the clouds. SOURCE's attention
was attracted to the object because of its exceptional brightness. SOURCE
stated he. viewed the object for approximately 50 minutes using 6X30 power
binoculars, SOURCE reported the object was sharply outlined, shaped like
bowl, and rimmed with lichts. Lights appeared to be individual but were
too numerous to count. (Incl #1, Sketch of object). For the first 30 min-
utes of the sichting object appeared to hover in a small portion of sky and
appeared to move in a somewhat erratic manner similar to an aircraft in
rough air. After about 30 mimtes object appeared to be moving in a westerly
SOURCE
indicated he saw a few stars but no moonlight was apparent. Object appeared
orighter than the background of the sky and was comparable to the brizhtness
of an automobile headlicht a city block away. Object did not break into
parts, give off smoke or change shape. However, it did change brightness
from time’ to time and seemed to pulsate or throb. SOURCH stated he noted
an aircraft above and in front of the object in a northwesterly dirsction
from point of observation. SOURCE could not identify or describe the type
of aircraft other than that it was not a jet. Obdject did not move in front
of anything at any time during the sighting. SOURCE said he thoucht the
ootect was solid. There was no audible sound during the sighting. SOURCE
indicated he saw only one object and estimated that the real size of the
ooject at its longest dimension was approximately 100 feet. SOURCZ was
certain object appeared to be the size of a nickel held at arms length when
viewed through binoculars, S2URCE said that if the odject were to be con
structed of known materials it would probably be of a silvery metallic sub-
stance shaved like a bowl. SOURCE reported that he was looking northwest
when he first saw the object and also was looking northwest when the object
disappeared. SOURCE indicated that when object was first noticed it was ap-
proximately 300 decrees from true north and approximately 30 degrees above
the horizon. ‘hen odject disappeared it was approximately 300 decrees from
true north- and 0 degrees above horizon. S2URCE reported thick clouds, dry
weather, warm temperature and no wind during period of sighting. He stated
this was the first time he had ever seen an object of this type. SOURCE
unable to estimate speed of object but thought it was approximately 15 miles
away. SOURCE's residence is 4 miles NW of Bert Billington Seals! residence,

(SOURCE, Part One), SOURCE is of the opinion that the odject was an air-
craft or mechanical device of some kind.

COMMENTS of Preparing Officer:

1, In the opinion of the ase parahy officer the sighting was probably an
optical phenomena for the following reasons:

a. Any celestial body that sould have been mistaken for an unidenti~
fied object was not visible in that portion of the sky where the sighting occured.
In addition, the characteristic movement of a celestial body does not conform .
to the movement of the object described by SOURCES, and its pattern of travel
through the sky to its point of ultimate disappearance. The area travelled by
ooject in the period. of ‘time specified by SCURCES would not be characteristic
of a celestial body. Any celestial . body with the exception of planets and the
moon will move approximately 15° per hour. . According to description furnished

“by SOURCES, object travelled. a tunes area than 15° in the 55 minutes it was
‘ observed. . ‘Following Sika ‘are yee for reference purposes: — Be

WA Ks Se : Me caearch of: cbeeiils aircraft in the area of sighting resulted in:
negative tidings with the exception.of the single track reported by the 746th
AG &W Squadron, Tinker AFS,~ The movement, moreover, of the object as deseribed
- by SOURCES doesnot fit the normal pattern of aircraft movement in flight.
SOURCE, however, ‘reported ‘seirg an | adroraft in flight at the same time he saw
the unidentified object. | =

the tyeaeseces: 2 that this. wa St was a meteors,

“ally sonbiees the optical. phenomena hypothesis. The possibility exists that
meteorological ‘conditions prevailing during the sighting, such as two temperature
inversions, may have been SontrToaving factors to the occurence of this sighting.
